I'm not sure where it flipped, in terms of expectations for first-year quarterbacks. It seems like there is less tolerance for learning on the job these days. Most rookie qbs suck, because it's probably the hardest position in all of sports, and it would be weird if they didn't struggle.

I think Allen should be the starter moving forward. Unless he totally craps the bed down this stretch run, then you pencil him in for next year. If you can (somehow) pick up a quality veteran qb in the offseason, then great...but, I think it would be a mistake for the Panthers to keep Cam.

Antonio Brown makes an apology to Robert Kraft on Instagram:

"Mr. Kraft I apologize sincerely to you and your organization! All I wanted to be was an asset to the organization; sorry for the bad media and the drama ! Thank you sincerely AB"

[West E]

Sometimes i wonder how good we’d be with AB. Other times i think we’re doing well because we had to deal with him.

[Moviefan1203]

He has really gone full circle the last few months.

Dez, turn the Twitter off.

Philly opens as 1.5 favs. Is Wilson hurt?

[imsounoriginal]

Home field is generally good for what, three points? I guess they're expecting Alshon and Jordan Howard to play and contribute significantly.

EDIT: oh apparently Lockett might not play.

[rickah88]

Dude I’m playing against has Alshon, hope he’s in decoy mode this week.
I’m debating on whether to start Howard.

Steve Fezzik from pregame.com whose rankings usually align with the odds has phi rated 2 & sea 3.

Add 3 pts homefield so then its phi 5 & sea 3 = 2 pts which it is now at fanduel.

Sea isnt really thought highly of.

[Batman1980]

Seattle should roll Philly.

[Moviefan1203]

Eagles generally play well in desperation mode.

[BizCat]

I don't see MVP Russell losing.

[imsounoriginal]

I hope we win but I also need Seattle's TE Hollister to score a TD

Wilson is definitely in the MVP conversation, and I get the Philly homefield. Just was surprised that Vegas was so low on Seattle. Maybe since it was moved to 1pm, west-to-east travel. We shall see.
After sports betting for the better part of 20 years, I can say that sooner or later you end up spending more than you win. Unless you hit a rainmaker parley.

Its different now though with all the sportsbook competition
they have to do things to compete against each other
im always getting free bonus bets.

Example - pointsbet tonite has a promo on the MAC game
bet it & get a free $50 bet
so i bet toledo +9 & then bet buffalo -9 at fanduel
ill lose $4 on that bet BUT i get a $50 free bet in exchange
then ill split that into 2 $25 bets & do the same thing bet both sides of a game
no matter who wins that i get back $24 so even minus that $4 its a free $20 -- with NO RISK.

Alot i mean alot of stuff like that comes up.

[El Rey]

The league has upheld Ogujobi's one game suspension but has rescinded the $10k fine

Decisions on Garrett and Pouncey's appeals will be announced later in the week

That is true. My initial investment on Fanduel a few years lasted quite some time. Did use some winning to buy a few 1clicks...because you always have to walk away with something.
